Download or read book Black Holes and Super Gravity written by IntroBooks and published by IntroBooks. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black holes, supernovas, Dark matter, and the micro gravity or macro gravity related researches and studies for analysis can be of inbound curiosity to any professional in any subject stream. These are lessons about nature that is sure to trigger the curiosity in anyone. Shedding some light on these vitalities related to black holes, formation, creation, and deterioration is the objective here. Enormous amount of gases in the black holes, in varied capacities, and the unpredictable size and nature of the black holes, with super gravity, make the studies to be too complicated to understand precisely about the physical properties of the black holes. To describe the difference between gravitational and inertial mass, brings in the need to know on when an astronaut in orbit experiences apparent weightlessness. That is the way to understand on how black holes are formed for anyone else too.
Download or read book Gravity Where Do We Stand written by Roberto Peron and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of the current understanding of gravitation, with a focus on the current efforts to test its theory, especially general relativity. It shows how the quest for a deeper theory, which would possibly incorporate gravity in the quantum realm, is more than ever an open field. The majority of the contributions deals with the manifold facets of “experimental gravitation”, but the book goes beyond this and covers a broad range of subjects from the foundations of gravitational theories to astrophysics and cosmology. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with foundations and Solar System tests. An introductory pedagogical chapter reviews first Newtonian gravitational theory, special relativity, the equivalence principle and the basics of general relativity. Then it focuses on approximation methods, mainly the post-Newtonian formalism and the relaxed Einstein equations, with a discussion on how they are used in treating experimental tests and in the problem of generation and detection of gravitational waves. Following this is a set of chapters describing the most recent experiments, techniques and observations on the testing of gravity theories in the laboratory, around the Earth and in the Solar System. The second part is dedicated to astrophysical topics deeply linked with the study of gravitation, namely binary pulsars and the perspective of direct detection of gravitational waves. These cases are paradigmatic in that the gravitational signals act at the same time as messengers helping us to understand the properties of important and wide classes of astrophysical objects. The third part explores the many open issues in current knowledge of gravitation machinery, especially related to astrophysical and cosmological problems and the way possible solutions to them impact the quest for a quantum theory of gravitation and unified theory. Included is a selection of the many possible paths, giving a hint to the subtleties one is called upon. Whenever possible, a close link to observational constraints and possible experimental tests is provided. In selecting the topics of the various contributions, particular care has been devoted to ensure their fit in a coherent representation of our understanding of gravitational phenomena. The book is aimed at graduate level students and will form a valuable reference for those working in the field.

Download or read book Supergravity written by Daniel Z. Freedman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supergravity, together with string theory, is one of the most significant developments in theoretical physics. Written by two of the most respected workers in the field, this is the first-ever authoritative and systematic account of supergravity. The book starts by reviewing aspects of relativistic field theory in Minkowski spacetime. After introducing the relevant ingredients of differential geometry and gravity, some basic supergravity theories (D=4 and D=11) and the main gauge theory tools are explained. In the second half of the book, complex geometry and N=1 and N=2 supergravity theories are covered. Classical solutions and a chapter on AdS/CFT complete the book. Numerous exercises and examples make it ideal for Ph.D. students, and with applications to model building, cosmology and solutions of supergravity theories, it is also invaluable to researchers. A website hosted by the authors, featuring solutions to some exercises and additional reading material, can be found at www.cambridge.org/supergravity.

Download or read book Final Theory Of Everything written by Russell Eaton and published by deliveredonline.com. This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Final Theory of Everything, revised and updated in May 2024, reveals for the first time a new ‘theory of everything’ to explain how all aspects of the universe are linked together, and why the universe is the way it is. The holy grail of cosmologists has been to find a master theory that provides a singular, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all aspects of the universe. This book reveals precisely that: a grand unification theory that brings together the four forces of nature (gravity, electromagnetism, weak and strong forces) into one single force. Along the way, many spurious concepts and misconceptions about the Universe are busted wide open, made possible by the Final Theory of Everything. For example, the book reveals why dark energy and dark matter are non-existent and unnecessary in the universe. Other mysteries are resolved such as what keeps galaxies together, what’s at the bottom of black holes, and exactly what causes gravity. A special section on the true nature of light reveals how it will be possible one day to put virtual video cameras on the surfaces of planets and stars. This will give us instant movie-like videos of far away planets and stars with no time delays. A technology that is destined to revolutionise mankind's exploration of the cosmos and the hunt for extraterrestrial life. This book is written for a general audience and for scientists & physicists - for anybody wanting to know more about our astonishing Universe and the world we inhabit.
Download or read book Advances in String Theory written by Eric R. Sharpe and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past decade string theory has had an increasing impact on many areas of physics: high energy and hadronic physics, gravitation and cosmology, mathematical physics and even condensed matter physics. The impact has been through many major conceptual and methodological developments in quantum field theory in the past fifteen years. In addition, string theory has exerted a dramatic influence on developments in contemporary mathematics, including Gromov-Witten theory, mirror symmetry in complex and symplectic geometry, and important ramifications in enumerative geometry." "This volume is derived from a conference of younger leading practitioners around the common theme: "What is string theory?" The talks covered major current topics, both mathematical and physical, related to string theory. Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in string theory in mathematics and physics will be interested in this workshop."--BOOK JACKET.
